Rogue One made me sceptical, The Last Jedi sealed it. Star Wars needs a bullet to the back of the head. But now that Disney has the property we can look forward to a tedious spin off that nobody asked for every other year until the end of days

The problem Star Wars has, is that the fanbase will never be satisfied regardless of what anyone does.

If they didn't make any films, the fans would want new films, they played it safe with Force Awakens, the fans felt it was too safe, they tried a different route for Last Jedi, and the fans still aren't happy.

The makers will forever be damned when they do, and damned when they don't.

What i've seen of the new stuff has been pretty decent though, the problem is that the main Star Wars fanbase will forever be held back by their fanatical loyalty to the original trilogy. They see the originals as the pinnacle of perfection, so for them, it's simply impossible for any of the new stuff to live up to that.

Not sure that's the case; I don't personally hold a massive amount of nostalgia for the original trilogy, and I still didnt like the new stuff all that much
That being said, episode 4 and 5 are very hard acts to follow, especially with newer, untested material. Honestly they were probably bound to make a few mis-steps in these films.

Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were very well received by critics, fans and the average moviegoer in general. It's just that there's a very vocal minority that were particularly vicious about the latest film. And with a fanbase as big as that of Star Wars, well that minority is going to be pretty big.

And let's be honest, they're not perfect films. Especially not The Last Jedi (even though I probably enjoyed that one more). That film had some pretty goofy scenes. That certain Leia scene. As for the criticism that they played Force Awakens safe - well, they did. You can't deny that. Did they play it too safe? I liked the film a lot but yeah, in my opinion they kind of did.
